About this product
Youth's narrator, a student in 1950s South Africa, has long been plotting an escape from his native country.Studying mathematics, reading poetry, saving money, he tries to ensure that when he arrives in the real world he will be prepared to experience life to its full intensity, and transform it into art.Arriving at last in London, however, he finds neither poetry nor romance.Instead he succumbs to the monotony of life as a computer programmer, from which random, loveless affairs offer no relief.Devoid of inspiration, he stops writing and begins a dark pilgrimage in which he is continually tested and continually found wanting.Set against the background of the 1960s, Youth is a remarkable portrait of a consciousness turning in on itself.J. M. Coetzee explores a young man's struggle to find his way in the world with tenderness and a fierce clarity.
